Online Counselling for Victoria

If you are a young person who has anxiety, lacks motivation and clarity then you are most certainly not alone. Many in this age group feel this way. They feel they are wandering along without direction and focus. Change is possible. From my years of experience, I have seen remarkable change in the mindset of my clients, some of whom have undergone severe trauma in childhood, All this within a safe, confidential environment where there is absolutely no judgement and where you will be treated with utmost respect. The ultimate goal is to become the best version of yourself. I speak Sinhalese and understand the Asian culture.

“The supreme Art of War is to subdue the enemy (within) without fighting” - Sun Tzu. Art Tearapy facilitates the discovery of insights and expression by combining the traditional art forms of the East and the evidence based therapeutic knowledge of the West, enabling one to take charge of their own mental, physical and emotional well-being.

I am passionate about amplifying voices and creating spaces for individuals to freely express themselves. This includes voices of people of colour, First Nations individuals, migrants, and other marginalised minority groups that experience greater systemic barriers. For some communities, there are expectations of how one should think and behave within their cultural context. However, this can often be misaligned with their true sense of self. Being stuck in between two cultural worlds can be challenging.

Avrille Burrows is a Naarm (Melbourne) based South Asian Mental Health Clinician and Arts Therapist. Avrille works with individuals and families who have experienced trauma, and adverse events in their life such as abuse, loss, family violence, separation and racism. She understands how these can impact our relationships, our confidence, and the effect it can have on our physical body with symptoms such as headaches, pain, depression, anxiety and stress. As a migrant and woman of colour, Avrille has the lived experience of navigating two worlds and provides a space to unpack the complexities that come with this.

Melbourne Counsellor in English and Korean (멜번한국심리상담사), 직장상담프로그램(Employment Assisstance program), 가정폭력(Domestic Violence), 피해자 보상협회 (Victim of Crime Program). I am an engaging and client-centred counsellor and specialise in providing effective therapeutic support to multicultural background Asian migrants. I tailor sessions to meet the uniquely personal needs and circumstances of each client . I help my clients to focus on what they would like to be different in their lives. Hoped-for outcomes are explored, and immediate steps taken to change or manage any issues and concerns (stress, depression, anxiety, trauma).

I'm a counsellor and South Asian Woman of Colour with over 10 years experience in psychology, counselling and mental health. I started Insession Counselling to provide therapy to people from all cultural backgrounds, gender identities and sexual orientations. Navigating my own experiences of marginalisation and intersectionality as a queer Sri-Lankan woman has allowed me to truly understand how culture, gender and sexuality shape so much of who we are and how we experience relationships. I combine this lived experience with evidence-based psychological interventions so that the therapy you receive is tailored specifically to you.

Mental health can look different for every individual. My role as a psychologist largely involves assisting clients to develop emotional resilience, as well as promoting healthy behaviour change. This results in clients living a more fulfilling life, regardless of what their current and or future circumstances present. Being able to accurately assess and treat clients in a supportive environment is central to my practice. Due to the nature of my psychology training, as well as my personal experience growing up as a 1.5 generation Korean/ Asian in New Zealand and Australia, cultural responsivity is also a particular interest of mine.

Relationships can be a source of wellbeing and stability, but they can also have profound negative impact on our lives and mental health when things are not going well. If you want to learn how to build and maintain healthy relationships, if unfortunate events have damaged your relationship and you don't know how to heal and move forward, relationship counselling can give you the tools and support you need to reclaim a loving relationship with your partner and loved ones. We all have an innate need for connection, but don't know how to communicate for better connection. Counselling can help you to create the relationship you want.

Life After IVF was founded to provide a safe space for all who have disembarked the fertility treatment roller coaster. While my focus is predominantly on working with involuntary childless people, I also work with people who may have ended fertility treatment with a baby but may be experiencing grief, relationship issues, or may just need a safe space to debrief about their journey and discover what’s next.

I have a passion for supporting individuals and couples resolve interpersonal conflicts, identify underlying issues damaging interpersonal relationships, discover lost passion, rekindle friendship, and gain understanding of their triggers. I work with clients in a wholistic way to help them navigate challenging situations. I help individuals and couples identify thought patterns that could be influencing their emotions and behaviours. I am a person-centred counsellor with expertise in working with people from diverse backgrounds. I provide face-to-face and video counselling sessions after hours and on weekends.

My journey of adversity, grief, loss & marginalisation led me to uncover the creative intelligence of our brain & nervous system. 'Repeatedly talking 'about' my challenges didn't serve me; instead, I specialised in body-based expressive modalities. I focus on body-based processes that ground us in the tumultuous inner world and regulate us in the outer environment. I am an expert in inviting creative expression, building strength & somatic resourcing and bottom-up sensory awareness. I affirm all abilities, gender preferences, cultural identities and neurodivergence. Please visit my website for more.

Don't expect to see a change if you don't make one. I enable positive change. My clients may have seen a therapist or coach before, but it didn't change anything for them. They then come to me. They want to make lasting positive change in their lives, but they need somebody to give them structured tools and support them in the growth process. Change can be good, but it is not easy. Typically, my clients come to me feeling that living on auto-pilot or that they have lost touch with who they are at their core. They desire more life satisfaction and are prepared to work for it. They want to thrive not just survive.

Your concerns might be about anxiety, depression, stress, relationships, your self-esteem, emotional abuse, grief & loss, or trauma. Perhaps it's something less defined, or vague yet familiar & unsettling. You might feel disconnected, isolated, pressured, or rushed & never able to be fully who you want to be. Maybe something has happened in your relationship/s at work, at school, at college or with a parent or other close family members. Or you have experienced childhood abuse or family / domestic violence.

Since starting my career in psychology in 2008, I have enjoyed worked with adults of all ages. Some of the issues that have been brought to therapy include interpersonal issues, family conflict, career/workplace issues, academic/study problems, grief, struggles with mood, motivation, identity, values and life transition. My clients come from all walks of life: tradies and warehouse personnel, students, retirees, teachers, fellow health professionals, stay-at-home moms, career women, new migrants, second generation Australians - all of who are just trying to navigate what mental health means to them and what they want out of life.

Are you doing reasonably well in your professional world, but your personal life is in shambles? Have you done everything you thought you should do to bring you happiness, yet somehow feel something is amiss? Are you surrounded by people regularly, yet feel lonelier than ever? Or do you go from relationship to relationship, yet can never feel safe enough to deepen with the one? Have you gone down the self-help track, yet somehow feel disconnected from life? Do you feel hesitant to see a therapist, because you feel like you shouldn't have problems? Sound familiar? You're not alone. I've been there too and would love to support you.

I am passionate about working with clients who are wanting to find that different path in life.

I enjoy working with couples who are wanting to explore the potentials of their relationship and to work out where their next steps are.
